THE animus of the johnson street railroad
management appears again in its refusal to
bear its share of the expense of the new Wash
ington- street pavement. In this, as in other
matters, it occupies the position of an OBJ
structionist and pig-headed opponent of pub

the management are trying to cajole the Coun-
Gil into concessions that will ultimately throw
the cost of the whole Improvement on the

Louisville Courier-J Journal says:
"There is sort of question that Repub-
ican sentiment is growing in the mountain
counties. 1t is highly probable that the next
congressional delegation from this State will
include four Republicans. If such calamity
should befall Kentucky it will be due, in a
large measure, to the question of federal aid
to education. The people in the mountains
generally favor federal aid. The appropria-
ton made by the State for the benefit of the
public schools is entirely inadequate, and the
communities are, as a rule, too poor to sup
plement the State fund by local taxation"
It is gratifying to know that Kentuckians
are waking up to the necessity of better edu-
cational facilities and know what party to look
to for relief

was guilty he wonll reply in the affirma-
tive, and Patterson never failed to reply it
was not true. A dispute would then fol-
low, each swearing that he was right and
the other wrong. Both prayed necessarily,
and when the mob was loudest they liter
ally rolled on the floor in agony and fear.
